An SSP forumer found video of the two Antonov 124 visit in 1991 just after Desert Storm:

Great pics, but to be picky we should call them our Ukrainian guests. As Antonov is a Ukrainian company.
However the Volga-Dnepr bird has a Russian registration (RA-82045), and the Antonov Design Bureau bird is a Ukrainian reg (UR-82009).

We took the firetrucks over last night to see the Antonovs.
Both planes going to Chad with drilling equipment.
They said it was the first time Calgary had 2 Antonovs at the same time.

Well they were wrong about the first time thing, as my video above shows (and my memory of that visit).
Seriously, if Calgary can have a resident historian I think I should be the go to Avgeek.

I wonder what percentage of those are defunct or went bankrupt at least once.

These legends ceased operations a few weeks before I was born... and now they're back.
Now we just need to get Continental and Northwest and we'll be all set.

Yesterday driving into work noticed a Antonov 124 parked on the North side of the airport near a cargo company. Was gone when I was leaving work.
